HOUSE BILL 405
Lewd conduct, minors, penalties
LEWD CONDUCT WITH A MINOR CHILD – Amends existing law to revise the penalty for lewd conduct with a minor child and to revise provisions regarding sentencing in capital cases.
RS30853 / H0405
This legislation amends Idaho Codes 18-1508 and 19-2515 to allow a sentence of capital punishment for a person convicted of lewd conduct with a minor, if said minor is under the age of twelve (12) and there are aggravating circumstances. Upon conviction, a jury will make the decision of whether to implement the death penalty. A judge may decide the sentence if a jury is waived by the defendant.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government, therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
